It was only natural, therefore, that public opinion at home has been at lever heat. To have indefinitely delayed an explanation of the government's action in these matters would have been not only imprudent, but extremely dangerous, and Mr. Balfour was well advised in coming forward as he has done and taking the -country into his confidence. His statement that the question will form the subject of an international inquiry and that war has been avoided will exercise a calming effect upon the people at home, and should re-assure the British public that the many difficult situations which are continually arising during the present war are being watched with alertness from Downing Street.

BALFOUR'S STATEMENT.
sive: city, of some two to three hundred thousand inhabitants, exclusive of a consider able boating population, is by no means so backward as one would be led to imaginé from the remoteness of its situation. Indeed, it has been made the home of quite a number of wealthy Chinese who, having: spent many years of their life in America, Australia and other countries, have returned to their native land and set- ded down in this city. The general appear- ance of Shekki testifies to the character and stability of its inhabitants. With wide streets and granite pavements the native houses are seen at their best, and although the foreigner may be surprised at the rush and bustle that goes on from early morn till dusk i is a sure indication of the amount of business that is transacted in the course of the twenty-four hours.
